Raising heifers sounds well in theo-
ry, but breeding cattle is a separate art
from dairying. and. unless followed
with great judgment. is losing bust
ness, as not every heifer raised becomes
first class mich COW. The best plan
Is 70 buy heifers heavy with their first
calves-called " springers, and in this
there is much more room for judgment
and skill in making these selections
than most men are willing to admit,
The mistake usually made is being
misled by fancy for certain shapes,
colors and fashionable points. to the
neglect of others relating Immediately
10 the usefulness Of the matured COW.
The first point to consider is that the
heifer is strong. with e deep flank, in
dicating constitutional yigor; then see
that her teats are large and set wide
apart Viewed from behind, the twist
should be open and wide, with rudi-
mentary udder well displayed. As
secondary and fancy points. slim neck
and long head with small horns are
good features.
Above all things, avoid those heifers
that show very small rudimentary
teats, or those with large teats set
can make first class COW. There are
enough risks TO run before securing a
good one, without starting out with
those that never can improve. Even
the best Of pedigrees cannot make
good COW out OF heifer with de-
formed udder. Those who have stud
led Guenon's method, while they do
not rely upon il to the exclusion of
other points, find it a great aid. and
feel that they cannot ignore the es-
cutcheon.

sISo OOO A YEAR ron OLD SEEDS.
7 From Io,pa Register J

From Eotna Register
There has been a considerable good
done in past years by the Agricultural
Department by obtaining new and rare
seeds, plants, trees and vegetables
from foreign countries, and carefully
distributing them where they could be
the most successfully propagated. But
that day seems 20 be past. The prac-
tice has dwindled down 10 spending
probably 500 600 per year for old seeds.
which large seed stores have held over
and sell cheap. IL is understood that
all 81 the Commissioners of Agricui-
ture for the past twenty wears have
been opposed IN the expenditure OF the
public funds for such objects so soon
as they became acquainted with the
purposes for which the seeds are used.
The system is kept up by the members

FARM NOTES.

Keep the windows of the potato
cellar open at night and closed in the
daytime, unless the days be cold and
| dry.
Every hen can be made to hatch two
broods by removing the chicks as soon
as Matched. Renovate her nest and
give her fresh eggs.
Early cut hay. cured green, gives
both color and flavor to butter; while
hay Of ripened grass. though making
harder butter, impsrts less color and
flavor or none at all.
A mixture of equal parts Of red pep
per and Scotch snuff thrown into rat
holes will cause the vermin to leave.
Rats soon become suspicious of poi
son, and the mixture easily frightens
them.
All food cooked for stock is more
easily assimilated than when raw. 1t
is only a question of cost in cooking.
For all kinds Of stock roots cooked and
thickened with ground grain make an
excellent mess.
If the seed is good. the cutting to
pieces of potatoes with two eyes will
produce good results. In cutting.
always endeavor 10 leave as much Of
the tuber to the eyes as possible. as it
serves as plant food in the early stages
of growth.
A SPAWN Cure-One drachm beniO-
! dide Of mercury 20 one ounce of lard.
Apply once a day for two or three
! days, or until You see a slight oozing
or serum; then stop until the scab
comes of, and apply again as often as
necessary.
Farmers who are buying cheap nur-
/ sery stock simply because it is cheap
will see the folly Of it later. The right
/ thing 20 do is to shut our ewes to the
/ price but keep them wide open to the
/ quality, instead of reversing this rule,
a. many farmers do.
Major Alvord mentions that a COW
/ years ago was considered good that
gave GOO pounds of milk in year.
Nowadays cows that give l0, 900 pounds
year are not uncommon. He has
lately been watching a COW whose milk
record was 5000 pounds of milk in a
year.
/ Put in a little plat Of ground TO peas
and beans the coming season. Both
I of these are excellent food for stock Of
all kinds. Have one yard of peas
which the little pigs can run in. Pea
meal is excellent for producing milk or
butter. These are very rich foods and
/ should be given in limited quantities,
I however.
/ One Of the latest Horticultural nov
/ elites is the moon flower, a climbing
/ plant which blooms continuously from
+ June to November, its moon-like "
/ flowers being pure white. II blossoms
/ only on moonlight nights or on dull,
I cloudy days. The odor of the plant is
/ somewhat like that Of the jessamine or
F English hawthorn.
The loss in sheep was about 3 per
cent. in Morrow county. The loss was
due 10 lack of food generally. The
principal losses in sheep, so far as OBJ

CSL gxAo,as.I


When l first came 70 Canada I found
there were various opinions as 70 the
method of making the sound. One
man. who read great deal. but rarely
went into the woods. said the sound
was produced by the birds voice.
Some of the hunters told me that the
bird struck its wings on the logs, and
others that il struck them together over
its back.
Ibid not give much heed TO the book
mans explanation, for all the wood
men laughed at it. soon learned to
discredit also the idea that the bird
thumped the log with its wings, be
cause, whether it stood on a stump or
a stone. a rotten log or solid timber,
the sound was always the same. Last
ly, | did not believe that the wings
were struck together, because when q
pigeon or a rooster strikes its wings
together the sound is always a SHARP
crack. At length. after watching
the bird carefully. ! came TO the con-
clusiOn that it drums by beating the
air only.
It is not an easy matter 70 get sight
OF partridge when he is drumming
but | managed 10 do it by crawling on
my hands and knees toward the bird,
lying still while he was quiet, and only
moving forward when he renewed his
noisy courtship: for it is TO WOO and
win his mate that Sir Ruffied Grouse
INDUCES in these musical exercises.
In this way l contriyed to come within
twenty feet without alarming him.
Through the alder thicket | could Just
see his shapely form strutting about
like turkey cock; then for a moment
he stood upright. with his feathers
living close. Suddenly his wings
flashed. and at the same moment
heard the loud thump. Then for a
few seconds he stood looking about as
though nothing had happened; but
presently came a second flash and
thump, and others followed at lessen
ing intervals. until at last the serenade
rolled away like the galloping of horses
or the rumbling of distant thunder.

III sing you a song, It's the oldest on
earth:
It came down from heaven, the place
Of its birth;
The birds through the air. as they bore
It along,
first warbIed the notes Of that raptur-
Gus song.
Then its music was caught on the wings
Of the breeze
That whispered it low through the
leaves Of the trees.
TIL thev trembled and sighed as the
strange song they hear
With the rustling Of Joy and the tremor
Of fear.
And all that had life, on the earth, in
the sea.
Rs-echoed the notes Of that sweet mel
ody:
With flower and fruit the glad world
grew bright.
And the murmuring ocean laughed out
in delight.
At last, in It's hottest, heavenliest
power,
It pierced the seclusion OF Eden's fair
bower,
And filed with a new, troublous Joy
from above
Two souls in that bower. and they
called that song-LoYe.
And still from that day, through all
ages and chimes,
That song which Is old and yet new
ever chimes;
And 50 twill be sung till time shall be
DER.
When twill soar back 10 heaven 10 be
sung eYermore.
Beware, oh beware how you sing that
old song;
Breathe no note that is false, strike ne
chord that is wrong;
Let each pulse of your heart, like a
lute's well-tuned string,
Be harmonious and true when that old
song you sing.
